Gcc wants to distinguish between linux-gnuoldld and linux-gnuaout. Thanks for your contributions. One of the next few betas for xemacs-21.2 will feature an upgrade to the latest config.guess and config.sub from FSF (/gd/gnu/lib/). That file already has support for arm machines. If there is a bug in those files, you should communicate directly with rms. Most of the XEmacs sources have forked from the FSF sources, but not config.guess and config.sub. Let's keep it that way. The rest of the arm support looks OK, although I am unhappy on the quantity of legacy cruft in the s&m headers. Martin
